Biological Information

  • Product Name
    Oxybenzone
  • Note
    Research use only, not for human use.
  • Brief Description
    Oxybenzone is an organic compound used in sunscreens. It is a derivative of benzophenone.
  • Description
    Oxybenzone is an organic compound used in sunscreens. It is a derivative of benzophenone. It forms colorless crystals that are readily soluble in most organic solvents. It is used as an ingredient in sunscreen and other cosmetics because it absorbs UV-A ultraviolet rays. (In Vitro):Oxybenzone (Benzophenone 3) (25 μM; 24 hours) decreases the relative RXRβ and RXRγ protein levels by 61 and 56%, respectively and increases the relative RXRα protein level by 49%.Oxybenzone (25-100 μM; 24 hours) induces an increase in caspase-3 levels in primary cultures of mouse neocortical cells at 7 DIV. Oxybenzone-induced apoptosis involves the activation of RXRα signaling and the impairment of RXRβ/RXRγ signaling. Oxybenzone (25 μM; 24 hours) inhibits global DNA methylation as well as reduced HDAC and HAT activities in mouse embryonic neuronal cells.

    Isovalerylglycine (IVG) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. In certain cases the measurement of these metabolites in body fluids can be used to diagnose disorders associated with mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation.
